Internship Handbook Internship Syllabus Candidates wishing to apply for internship should submit a formal application no later than the posted deadline (four weeks after the first day of classes) at least one semester prior to the beginning of the expected internship. Applications filed after the posted deadlines must be accompanied by a non-refundable late fee of $50. Submission of a late application may delay admission to the internship and does not guarantee the candidate an internship placement for the following semester. Late applications filed eight weeks after the first day of classes will not be considered for internship placement the following semester. Submission of an application for admission to internship during the summer term will not be considered for fall semester placement. Candidates denied admission to internship must reapply by the posted deadline in a subsequent semester. Candidates who do not reapply by the posted deadline will be assessed a $50 late fee. To be eligible for internship candidates:(1) must maintain all requirements listed under Admission to Teacher Education. (2) complete all required coursework. (3) passed the CAAP Exam with a score of 'S'. (3) submit a passing score on each of the required PRAXIS II examination(s). Score report must be on file in the Certification Office, and must reflect the passing score set by the Alabama State Department of Education. Candidates who have not submitted passing scores will not be placed in an internship. (4) submit a negative result on a current tuberculin test. (5) document an acceptable Spanish language experience. Additional Notes:Candidates are not allowed to take courses during the student teaching semester. UNA reserves the right to assign a student teacher in the greater Shoals area due to limitations on human and fiscal resources. Enrollment in a teacher education program indicates a willingness on the part of the student to spend the time and effort required at the school to which assigned, and to comply with the codes, policies, and regulations of that school. The student teacher is responsible for transportation to and from the student teaching assignment. The Alabama Child Protection Act of 1999 became effective July 1, 1999, mandating an FBI background review for teacher certification in addition to a background review by the ABI (Alabama Bureau of Investigation). "Have you been convicted of a criminal offense (except for minor traffic offenses)? If the answer is yes, please make an appointment to see the Teacher Certification Officer. The State Superintendent of Education has the authority to refuse to issue, to suspend, or recall a certificate for just cause." |
